Perhaps a convention (noun 1. a way in which something is usually done, esp. within a particular area or activity) simple enough for anyone to understand regarding subject lines could do away with all groups but LEM Discussion and LEM Swap. The idea here is that, if you are so inclined, you can create your own group or groups through the use of your very own email filters.
A couple templates: MACHINE:OS:Description of problem (entirely freestyle here) HARDWARE:Description of problem (entirely freestyle here) Examples based on them: SAWTOOTH:TIGER:GeForce FX5200 causing kernel panics GRAPHICS CARD:GeForce FX5200 causing kernel panics In the case of these examples. I think the latter would better connect questions with answers (not to mention questions with other questioners). Most people would think to mention their machine and OS (etc.) without prompting within the body of the message, and people with expertise in graphics cards tend not to be limited to certain Mac models and operating systems. I'm a member of the G-Group and the OS 9 group, and I receive posts as emails, and as it now stands, my practice is to at least skim through everything. Very educational. I know such an approach isn't for everyone, but I glean bits of information and things to pique my interest from threads I'd probably disregard if I went by subject alone. All of which goes to say: I don't offer the idea mentioned above for my own sake.
